In the absence of real information regarding the Penn State coaching search, here's something fun.

The Nashville Post checked on the Twitter accounts of two Vanderbilt assistant coaches and found that they are following ... Penn State recruits.

The Post noted Tuesday (read it here) that Vandy offensive coordinator John Donovan and defensive coordinator Bob Shoop are "adding fuel to the speculation that their boss, James Franklin, will replace Bill O'Brien as the Nittany Lions' coach."

Or maybe they're lurking in case the players start looking elsewhere? Or there's another reason?

As a side note, ESPN's Bruce Feldman noted on Twitter that Franklin "has emerged as the clear frontrunner" at Penn State.

Anyway, here are a couple of screen grabs. First, Donovan. His Twitter account is here.
